”In the etiology of the antisocial homicidal behavior of Jeffrey Dahmer and Dennis Nilsen, loneliness obviously played a crucial role. Both Dahmer and Nilsen felt rejected by their parents and others in their neighborhood.
Furthermore, they were unable to interact adequately with other individuals, and as a consequence, they experienced long-lasting and unbearable feelings of social isolation and an impossibility to develop affective social skills.
They lived too much in their own limited world, without close bonds or a safe nest and without receiving the useful psychosocial, emotional, or moral feedback, or positive stimuli from others that are necessary for reflection and behavioral correction.
They were prone of boredom, stress, and strain. This became more and more unbearable for them. Only the companionship of other people could have released them from the imprisionment of their limited self. Because of their long-lasting social isolation, Dahmer and Nilsen were further inhibited in the expression of their desires for love, sexuality and the warmth proper of a normal relationship.
Their loneliness was mixed with sentiments of failure, shame, low self-esteem, feelings of rejection, and of not being good enough for others, which they deduced from the fact that few people showed any interest in them. They developed deviant fantasies, partly fed by frustations and anger, because they basically felt unwanted and incapable of relating to others.”
